Phoebe Snow
0
A short, stirred drink from 1917 where brandy and Dubonnet Rouge give a rounded, wine-sweet and slightly bitter body. A single dash of absinthe adds a faint anise note on the finish.
The Phoebe Snow takes its name from a fictional advertising figure used by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in the early 1900s. Dressed in white, the character stayed spotless despite riding coal-fired trains, a claim resting on the railroad's use of anthracite, which burned cleaner than the bituminous coal used elsewhere. The same figure is also said to have led to the Brandy Alexander.
